Conference

Game Access ‘19 is a huge conference including lots of speeches, presentations, discussions and opportunities to find new partners and interesting information on the 6,000 sq. meters area. It’s quite easy to get lost among all of this and miss something important. To prevent this from happening we answered here to the frequently asked questions about our conference, its events and participation.

What is the schedule for the Game Access?

We’re working hard to prepare the schedule which is helpful and fascinating for every person related to the game industry. For now, we can say that it will include 30+ speeches of famous gamedev professionals, 3 parties, Indie Showcase, Game Access Awards, 2 side events etc.

We will announce details in News section of the website, as well as on our Facebook and Twitter. The final version will be ready in the middle of May.

Where does Game Access '19 Conference take place?

The fourth edition of Game Access will open its doors in the G2 pavilion of the Brno Exhibition Center (Brno, Czech Republic). It’s close to the city center and easy to be reached by all kinds of transport. The address is:

Výstaviště 405/1603 00 Brno

GPS:49°11'24.3"N 16°34'44.2"E

If you come by car, you can take advantage of a reserved parking lot just next to the conference hall.

If you chose public transport, there is a station called Výstaviště - vstup G2 located right next to the entrance to the hall G2 at Brno Exhibition Centre. You can get there by tramway number 1.

If you are coming from far, you can take advantage of direct flights into the Brno Airport from London Stansted, Munich, Berlin and Milan. If you do not have the option to take a direct flight, you will most likely want to fly to Prague and then take a train or a bus to Brno. Another good choice is to land in Vienna or Bratislava. You can get to the Conference the fastest from Bratislava. All the cities are connected with wide selection of buses and trains.

What is the “Matchmaking”?

Matchmaking is a system through which you can contact and set up meetings with other attendees of the Conference. Seamlessly.

What are the coffee breaks?

Coffee breaks are the great way to relax and mingle. For your pleasant, soft drinks, fruit and other snacks including sandwiches will be also available.

How epic will the parties be?

Even better than you can imagine! Last years we already had the parties in the castle, villa, marketplace and observatory, Star Wars and 30s parties. What is waiting for you this year? Come and see it with your own eyes! Can we say anything about the parties right now? Live music, local beer from small breweries, free drinks and snacks, special venues and different activities—all this and much more is waiting for you!

Full badge contains personalised information about you, such as the full name, your company’s name and your position in that company. If you get the Student Pass, you will put on the badge only your school’s name and field of study.

Are the tickets bound to my name?

Yes, they are. However, if you find yourself unable to come, you can always resell your ticket and change the info including email address. You can do all of this easily through your GameDev Area Network account at gamedevarea.com.

I have already bought my ticket but I want to upgrade it, can I?

Who can buy the Student pass?

Student pass can be bought only by full-time students. You have to verify your status by a valid ISIC card or confirmation from the school. Please, after you purchase this ticket, send us an email with the scan of your valid ISIC or confirmation from your school issued less than 3 months earlier. If a Student pass holder is not verified as a full-time student, his or her ticket regards as invalid.

The price of the Student ticket is symbolic and does not cover the associated costs. This is our way to support young talent working hard on their education and to help move the gaming industry forward.
